#Solnit π―: "Much has been said about the age of the candidates, but maybe itβs the corporate media whose senility is most dangerous to us. Their insistence on proceeding as though things are pretty much what theyβve always been, on normalizing the appalling and outrageous, on using false equivalencies and bothsiderism to make themselves look fair and reasonable, on turning politics into horseraces and personality contests, is aiding the destruction of the United States."

The #debate was all about #TFG's 50 LIES because that's how CNN intentionally framed it.
Pres Biden was a truth teller & has a stellar record.
Amplify the facts from the #BidenHarris campaign that delineates the 50 lies that TFG told:
@ScottSoCal Right??? What do they think trump will do? He'd probably ENCOURAGE the extermination of Gazans π₯Ί
feel the same
IMO the people making these Biden-blaming posts *know* it would be even worse with Trump, they simply don't care
for some, pretending Gaza is somehow Biden's fault makes it easier to look in the mirror than just admitting they're happy to usher in fascism if they think it will lower their taxes
straight up MAGAs don't need an excuse to vote for fascism, but for those who won't admit even to themselves that money is their god, GOP crafts a different kind of lie
@ScottSoCal The fact is, Trump has already said heβd blast Gaza out of existence, so it would absolutely not be better with him. He and Bibi are two peas in a pod.
@ScottSoCal For the reasons you list a month ago I decided to compare all post WW2 US presidents on their complicity in offensive deaths. Biden and Gaza included. The US presidency is a brutal position all things considered.
What I found was that Biden is second best in 70 years. Not what I expected given how mad everyone is at him.
Here is the chart.
It makes my blood boil every time I think about how Felon34 literally stalked Hillary on that debate stage and the moderators did NOTHING about it. To calm down, I picture Hillary spinning around and kicking that dirtbag right in the mushroom.
What will he pull tonight? (If he's there at all.)
I'm going nuts with all the posts I'm seeing about Biden and Gaza.
Yes, I hate what's happening in Gaza.
Yes, Biden is president.
No, there's nothing he can legally do to stop it. He can encourage Bibi to stop slaughtering people - and he is. He can delay shipments of weapons - and he is. He can't violate US law or signed treaties. He's not a dictator, here or in Israel. He can't just do whatever he wants.
And, seriously - how would ANY of this be better with Trump?!?!?
I really want people to understand.
Joe Biden wants to forgive unfair student debt. He keeps trying to do what he set out to do. These effers are still trying to stop him.
Judges are elected or appointed by your elected officials. You see how important it is to not just vote for President, but Representatives, Senators, and every single local office.

During the #Euro2024 #Ukraine versus Belgium match, fans displayed a banner with the portrait of Nazariy Hryntsevich, codenamed "Hrienka," a fallen soldier and #football fan. The image was generated by artificial intelligence from the photos of 182 fallen Ukrainian soldiers, who, in civilian life, were part of fan movements supporting Ukrainian clubs.
